BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan | Medium-deep lemony color. Fresh, fragrant, slightly lifted floral nose and mineral tones. Expressive but a bit pungent. Overt and fruity palate, soft, fluffy mousse. On the short side. Some evolution, still on the youthful side, but does not seem to show huge potential. Sweet, candy-toned finish. | 87

Alex Hunt | A fairly pale and youthful example, with a broad apricotty nose suggesting an unusual degree of ripeness. Very creamy in the mouth, with green notes jarring against the summery fruit, this lacks finesse. There is a certain cidery quality that suggests a rapid and not especially positive evolution. | 83

Tom Stevenson | Pale-straw color. Looks young. High-toned oaky aroma with volatile acidity fruitiness on the palate. Lovely, sumptuous mousse, creaming and soft. Good brut finish. | 88
